.No doubt, this night, one day, is a twenty-four hours unbearable for the Japanese Navy and Army, and even the entire Japanese Empire. The sudden appearance of the Black Panther Detachment was like a group of tigers and wolves breaking into the sheep pen, killing the unarmed Japanese and Russian ships fiercely. This fleet with dragon flags roared across the north of Jeju Island with murderous intent, and along the way were people blocking and people blocking and Buddha blocking. The Japanese and Russian merchant ships that were fishing in the Ma Strait were also bad, and the Japanese and Russian merchant ships that traded between Kyushu and Xiguo, Vladivostok and North Korea were also bad.

The Chinese Navy abides quite well by international maritime laws. For these enemy ships that appeared in the war areas, they first issued gun warnings, and then sent personnel to board the ship to confirm, and then asked the crew to leave in a lifeboat, opened the bottom of the ship to open the sea valve to let the ship sink. Even Japanese fishermen were arrested, concentrated on the boat and sent to the sea, while the fishing boats were sunk.

The poor Japanese fishermen, sailors and crew members of the civilian boat, all nodded and bowed to the Chinese naval officers and soldiers, saying that they were good people, Taijun, you are the noble Duosa Dosa. Unfortunately, these soldiers with bayonets and spoke politely and gloomy faces were extremely serious, just said coldly: "Give you five minutes." Facing the black muzzles of the warship, the bayonets and pistols in front of them, no matter how many Japanese crew members had, they could only swallow them back into their stomachs.

The fishermen and crew members who returned to the land all cursed the Russians for their treason. Isn’t the Second Pacific Fleet very good and powerful? Now that the Chinese are here, where are the Russians? There is also the Imperial Joint Fleet Third Fleet, where did the old bastard who was hiding? What, has he become a god? It’s a cheaper traitor...

What are the first and second fleets that Japan and Russia jointly formed? How can we allow the enemy fleet to run to the coast of Japan and North Korea to make trouble and cause trouble for so many years? Is the navy that has been hardworking and raising officials in the future? Or is it a war or a turtle? The navy usually claims to be the pillar of the imperial state, but at the critical moment it is a native chicken and tile dog. Is this the imperial army still the imperial army?

Soon, the front page of Japanese newspapers was filled with news of Chinese fleet attacking the Tsushima Strait. The angry accusations of the victimized fishermen and crew pointed to the incompetent navy. Instead, they praised the style of the Chinese naval knights, which further highlighted the incompetent Japanese and Russian navy, especially the Japanese navy.

Japan was in a state of great revelation, and many people even compared this with the black ship incident seventy years ago, believing that it directly threatened the survival of the imperial country. Many patriots found the Xingya Society and demanded that the traitors be punished. Uchida Ryohei knew it was difficult to refuse, but he also knew that it was not the time to get out of the way, so he had to avoid it and start missing.

The Japanese people have taken action. The angry Tokyo citizens should have been angry with the Third Fleet responsible for offshore defense, but the main force of the Third Fleet was destroyed. The commander and chief of staff all became gods. They simply went directly to siege the residence of Naval Command Minister Ijiyuan Goro. Ijiyuan Goro, who was in Shimonu, was so scared that Ijiyuan Goro who was in Shimonument, quickly asked the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to send additional personnel.

Japanese Navy Minister Mutahi Yamamoto naturally knew that there must be a shadow of the army behind this demonic wind. Those local men in Changzhou seemed to want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fuss, destroy the navy's southward advance plan, and try to pull the navy into their own tanks. At this time, what is most needed is to intercept this damn Chinese fleet as soon as possible, clear the shame of the navy, and ensure the advancement of the southward advance plan.

In fact, as early as the Chinese fleet destroyed the transport team in the Naval Battle of Montenegro, the Navy Province had sent an emergency telegram to the Second Fleet of the Joint Fleet near Amami, ordering it to move north quickly and work with the Second Russian fleet to encircle and annihilate the Chinese troops.

Ryukyu Islands, the west of the ancient island of Toshima, twenty nautical miles.

During the day, the Japanese-Russian joint fleet once again covered the Japanese Marine Corps with no suspense to "recover" the empty Tonoko Island. During the whole day, the fleet was covering the transport fleet unloading personnel and supplies, especially the Osaka Artillery Factory's special 28O rear-mounted shore defense artillery, which was unloaded from the transport ship. Relying on manpower and animal power, using rolling wooden platoons, the engineers were also exploring semi-buried artillery bunkers to the ground.

The Second Fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet, the Izumo armored cruiser.

Lieutenant General Hiroyuki Uemura held the telegram in his hand and his eyebrows flipped together.

"Commander Togo only conveyed the order of the sea, which shows that there is no objection to the headquarters of the Joint Fleet. In any case, Chief Yamamoto issued an order to operate directly on the Second Fleet, which is enough to show the determination of the Ministry of Navy." Chief of Staff Colonel Kato Tosaburo stared at the commander and said seriously, "Your Excellency, we must execute the order. The fleet is in good condition, ammunition is sufficient, and there is not much loss of fuel, freshwater and food supplies. We are currently in the best combat readiness state. Although we do not know how the Chinese fleet crossed our guard network and suddenly appeared near the coast of North Korea, the opponent's troops are nothing more than four fast armored cruisers, six protective cruisers, and several destroyers. Moreover, their battle with the third fleet, Higashi-kun, will at least give him a considerable blow. With the strength of our fleet, our troops are enough to defeat it. We might as well go north as soon as possible and quickly block its retreat."

"What I worry about is that the Chinese Navy will leave with one strike and let us slap it, which will hit morale even more." Hiroko Komura shook his head, "It seems that the Chinese people develop steam turbines and emphasize the speed of warships. From the beginning, they have been thinking about this attack tactic. They can turn around and leave after one strike, and we can only follow their butts..."

Tomosaburo Kato smiled bitterly: "So what can I do? You can't watch the Chinese people wield wildly near the empire. The Third Fleet suffered heavy losses this time, and the Russian Second Fleet was all slow old man, so it was even more impossible to catch up with those Chinese people. Even if we want to give the people an explanation, we must go north to seek battle."

"You are right, execute the order." Hiroko Komura was silent for a while, and patted Kato Tomosaburo's shoulder with a wry smile. "Even if the enemy retreats, we can say that the power of the Second Fleet scares them away... The face of the Japanese Navy is now relied on our Second Fleet to save it."

"Youhe, Ganba Lie"

Hiroko Uemura looked into the air again: "Does the Imperial Navy have no way to do these damn Chinese airships? We are followed all the way, and our whereabouts are all under the control of the enemy. How can we fight?"

"If we can raise the elevation angle of the rapid-fire guns, at least drive them farther." Tomosaburo Kato also frowned, "I think I should report to the Navy Province and buy this kind of flying thing as soon as possible. The enemy has much more comprehensive battlefield intelligence than us, which is definitely not a good thing."

"Kato, I don't know why, I'm always worried." Hiroko Komura's expression became more and more serious. "Although there are only two new Chinese armored cruisers, those ships... This time the Second Fleet heads north alone, it shouldn't be dangerous, but..."

Tomosaburo Kato looked at this naval general who was known for his wisdom and decisiveness and sighed in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Commander, it's actually obvious... We are not only fighting with the Chinese, but also fighting with the army's horse manure. This time, the Third Fleet was almost wiped out, and such a big storm was caused in China, but the horse manure was not exerted behind us. Our formation was the fastest. If the big guys in the first fleet followed, let alone intercepted, I'm afraid I can't even see the shadow. I saw Yamamoto Hikasaki, who was also interested in attracting the Chinese to fight a battle... Although the caliber of the opponent's main gun was large, after all, we were twice as many as them, and the Russians went south to support him, and even if it was not good, they could sink their ships. If they were to take those big guys up, the Chinese would have already run away. At that time, the army would definitely say that we were intentionally avoiding the war and fleeing the enemy..."

Hiroko Uemura looked at his chief of staff, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Tsushima Strait.

The Black Panther Detachment of the Chinese Army, which had just shown its power outside the range of the shore defense artillery at Busan Port and Masanpu Russian Military Ports, was speeding towards the exit east of the strait.

The imperial navy's golden dragon scrambles the sea flag, flying in the sea breeze.

The flagship Cheetah of the Chinese Black Panther Detachment.

Sazhenbing and British Navy Observer Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Pound had a while of red wine, talked about the customs and customs of Britain, the latest current affairs, and finally turned the topic to the main topic.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please be frank, how do you evaluate the efforts of the vulgar army in humanitarianism?" Sa Zhenbing took a sip of red wine, with a British reserved smile on her face.

Pang De thought for a moment and shrugged: "Commander, I don't think that what your army does is to blame, except... for those Japanese fishermen. I really don't think that those fishing boats can pose any threat to your army... When it comes to loading prohibited materials, I really don't see anything except fish and shrimp."

"No, my lieutenant colonel, don't underestimate the Japanese fishermen." Sa Zhenbing and the other party touched the wine glass and took a sip. "They are part-time spies, tracking the movements of our army in the name of fishing. Moreover, fish is an important strategic material in Japan and the main supply of the Japanese army. We have information that these fishing boats directly send the captured materials to the ports of Busan and Mashan for local processing plants to be made into canned or dry food for the Japanese army fighting in Korea. Therefore, according to the capture rules, they are carrying prohibited materials and should be sunk."

"All this is in line with the law of our country's maritime acquisition and international maritime practices." Sa Zhenbing said slowly, "According to the list of prohibited materials released by our country, fish is listed as absolute prohibited products."

Pang De was stunned: "When was it released?"

"Early yesterday morning." Sa Zhenbing pulled out a telegram from the drawer and pointed at a place with a red circle on it.

Ponde took it and looked at it, nodded with a wry smile.

"Lieutenant Colonel, what do you think the Imperial Navy fights for?"

Lieutenant Colonel Pound said without hesitation: "In order to safeguard sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, this is a legitimate self-defense war for a civilized country."

"You are right, Lieutenant Colonel, but it's not complete enough." Sa Zhenbing's words stunned Pang De, and his eyes also revealed his inquiry, "This battle is also for peace and justice, for the billions of creatures in the entire East Asia, and to safeguard the legitimate interests of our two countries in East Asia."

"The Imperial Navy adheres to justice and justice, abides by international law, and is guided by the glorious spirit of Chinese benevolence and forgiveness, and is committed to maintaining the order of East Asia and building a peaceful environment." Sa Zhenbing's expression is serious, "In this war, the Empire was forced to set off a sword. In addition to protecting the country and the people, it also wants to bring the glorious righteousness of the Empire to all countries in East Asia."

"Only by replacing the current chaotic and barbaric order in East Asia with an imperial fair and peaceful order can we bring lasting peace and justice to East Asia and better safeguard your country's commercial interests in East Asia." Sa Zhenbing stared at Pound, "I believe that after this war, as long as you maintain friendship and understanding between our two countries, under the protection of the sword of justice in the Imperial Navy, there will be no more clouds of war in this sea area."

Lieutenant Colonel Pang De pondered without saying a word, his expression was complicated.

Inside the commander tower of the Battle Sword, Captain Xu Bo looked at the chart in front of him and breathed heavily: "It's a double attack..."

"The remaining two third-class cruisers in Japan's third fleet stationed in Kobe will die when they come, so I must have to watch." Deputy Captain Xie Jiangchao said confidently, "As long as we can leave the Tsushima Strait, at our speed, both the Japanese Second Fleet and the Russian Pacific Second Fleet can only sigh. Besides, the Russian Second Fleet was also severely weakened by the lightning strike force. As long as we do not face the two companies at the same time, even if we face the enemy head-on, we can still win."

"Captain, the fleet's navigation command has come down." The nautical staff handed over a note.

Xu Bo looked at it and his body shook slightly.

Xie Jiangchao took it and looked at it, and his face changed: "What does the commander want to do? According to the direction and speed of the airship troops, if we follow the commander's plan, we expect that we will first encounter the second Japanese fleet, and then may be hit by the second Russian Pacific fleet from the north."

"The Second Japanese Fleet has eight armored cruisers of 10,000 tons, four second-class protective cruisers of 3,200 tons, eight destroyers, and seven torpedo boats." Xie Jiangchao said as he knew it. "This time the formation heading north did not have those seven torpedo boats, and it still had an advantage in terms of force. It is obvious that the Japanese knew the reconnaissance advantages of our airships, and they were thinking of using this seemingly one dozen troops to tempt our army to go back to Zhoushan, use this fleet to entangle us, and then the Russian army smashed from behind and defeated our fleet."

"They have greater ambitions." Xu Bo said calmly, "If my main fleet leaves the port to respond, the main force of the Japanese-Russian joint fleet will follow up and fight a Trafalgar-style maritime decisive battle, and use their tonnage and advantages on the main ship to completely eliminate our imperial naval mobile fleet."

"If two armored cruisers of the Second Fleet advance west alone, they may join the battle," Xie Jiangchao said again, "but the fastest thing should be after we have been in contact with the Second Fleet for five or six hours."

"It seems that we all underestimated Commander Sa." Xu Bo sighed, "This sir seems to be preparing to take a gamble."

"bet?"

"Betting that we can defeat the Japanese Second Fleet before the Russian army arrived." Xu Bo's eyes shone, but his tone was particularly solemn. "It is not even ruled out that he will turn around and fight the Russian Second Fleet again, and use the inside to maneuver to defeat each other."

Xie Jiangchao took a breath and looked at Xu Bo in surprise.

Could this commander be such a...a fierce general?

Cheetah Commander Tower. Black Panther Detachment Command.

Guo Zhenlin murmured: "I've been betting, really betting... Will the commander agree to your plan?"

"It's not mine, it's ours." Sa Zhenbing smiled and patted the other party's shoulder. "Although the enemy is eight armored cruisers, they are just eight 254mm guns, twenty-four 203mm guns, twenty-eight 190 guns. We have twenty-four 305mm guns and have the advantage of speed. As long as we maintain mobility, we can completely kill them through long-distance artillery battles. The speed of their entire formation is less than twenty-one knots, and we are more than four knots faster. As for their protective cruisers, the front may not be our sword-level opponent, and they may not even be as good as our Blu-Benz cruisers."

"Maosen, you have to believe in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Navy." Sa Zhenbing continued, "The Navy is a proud branch of troops, and the sense of honor and mission of the troops need to be ensured by victory. The Imperial Navy has not been defeated after many battles. Although the Japanese Navy was strictly trained, it was already a frightened bird that was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. How could it be the opponent of the Imperial Navy? As for the Russian Second Fleet, when they arrived at the battlefield, we had already drifted away..."

"Commander, what I worry about is that even if we defeat the Japanese fleet, many ships may have to barely drive and even have to abandon the ship." Guo Zhenlin frowned and said, "The Black Panther Detachment has gathered the essence of the fast forces of the Imperial Mobile Fleet. If the war is gone, the Imperial overall strategy may be overturned and we cannot bear this responsibility."

"I will bear all the responsibility." Sa Zhenbing let out a long sigh, "Retreat when he sees the enemy. This is not the style of the Imperial Navy... I believe that if you have mastered the essence of the navy's tactics in the new era and have a new type of warship with a brand new design, the current Imperial Navy will never be able to accurately measure combat effectiveness with traditional displacement and number of cannons. Let's start with the new era of the war history of the Imperial Navy."
